Option "Rotate" is not used

Option "Rotate" is not used

[Grant]

I just switched from nvidia to nouveau and I get the following in Xorg.0.log:

(WW) NOUVEAU(0): Option "Rotate" is not used

I have the following in xorg.conf because I've rotated the LCD screen
to change its orientation:

Option "Rotate" "CCW"

Can this be done with nouveau?  BTW, I can't say for sure that nouveau
isn't rotating the screen image because the workstation is remote.

Sure it can, nouveau is a randr 1.2 driver - so adding 'Option "Rotate"
"Left"' to the monitor section of your xorg.conf will work instead.

Thanks Ben, that worked great.

I spoke too soon.  I don't get the warning in Xorg.0.log anymore, but
someone tried to use the system and told me the screen was not rotated
as it should be.  I tried both of these in xorg.conf with the same
result:

Section "Monitor"
        Identifier "mymonitor"
        Option "Rotate" "Left"
EndSection

Section "Monitor"
        Identifier "mymonitor"
        Option "Rotate" "CCW"
EndSection

Any ideas?

You might need to add something like:

Option "DVI-I-1" "mymonitor"

To your device section, ofcource choose the right connector/output.
Grep the xorg log for output and you should be able to find it.

I added it like this:

Section "Device"
        Identifier "mydevice"
        Driver "nouveau"
        Option "VGA-1" "mymonitor"
EndSection

But I get this from Xorg.0.log:

Option "VGA-1" is not used

I also tried VGA-I-1 to match your example with the same result.  I
have this in Xorg.0.log so I think VGA-1 is correct:

(II) NOUVEAU(0): Output VGA-1 has no monitor section
...
(II) NOUVEAU(0): Output VGA-1 connected

Is my syntax off somehow?

My mistake, it should "monitor-VGA-1" instead.

I think that's it!  I get:

(II) NOUVEAU(0): Output VGA-1 using monitor section mymonitor

I'll know for sure soon when someone tries to log into that system.
I'll report back.

Thanks,
